Speed reading is a collection of reading techniques that attempt to increase reading speed without greatly reducing comprehension. Methods include chunking and minimizing subvocalization. The many available speed reading training programs include books, videos, software, and seminars. The average reading speed is about 200 to 250 words per minute. Speed readers claim to reach speeds of 1000 words per minute or more while maintaining good comprehension. However, research has shown that reading faster than 500 words per minute significantly reduces comprehension. The most effective speed reading technique is to reduce the time spent on each fixation. Our eyes don't move smoothly across text; they make quick jumps called saccades. Between saccades, our eyes pause briefly to take in information - these pauses are fixations.
